Question

How to make my site’s specific url (index.php?act=add) to response 404 error instead of 200 when spam bots try to access it ?
I am not php programmer so may be it could be done somehow with derectives in .htaccess file ?

Thank you for your answers but that did not help (
I need somthing like that rule in .htaccess file:

 <Files "index.php">
 Order Deny,Allow
 Deny from all
 </Files>

But instead of index.php to use “index.php?act=add”.

Now its working. Thank you!!!

using php (file index.php)

if ($_GET['act'] == 'add') {
    if (condition to check spambot/useragent/ipaddress/cookie) {

        header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
        exit;

    } else {

        //
        //
        // your code for 'REAL' users

    }
}
